Abstract excerpt
In the work described here it was determined if and how unnicking in the A subunit of Escherichia coli enterotoxin at Arg192 or nearby residues affected biological activities of the toxin. The mutant toxin was constructed to lack the nick site in the A subunit by deleting the tripeptide Arg192-Th...
